Andrew T. Miltenberg, the senior litigation partner at the law firm @NMLLPLaw , regularly represents university students accused of cheating with AI.

In his experience, students don't always grasp the enormity and consequences of the accusations. They may also be embarrassed to discuss the situation with friends, family, and supportive faculty. Nevertheless, Miltenberg is adamant that students should ask for help.

"The minute you get notice that there has been an allegation of academic integrity violation, don't assume you can deal with it yourself," Miltenberg says. "At best, it's going to be bad, and at worst, it's going to be a serious change in the trajectory of your career."

“Nothing is more frustrating than trying to prove a negative, or defend yourself in a forum in which there’s an impossibly low evidentiary standard for the university to make its case, and you as a respondent don’t have the necessary tools to defend yourself,” Miltenberg, once described in Newsweek as the “go-to attorney for students accused of sexual assault,” told the Independent.

Outside of Yale, Miltenberg, a veteran attorney who specializes in cases of academic and workplace discipline, said cheating allegations are on the rise at every level of schooling. “As part of my practice, this issue…is becoming a very considerable part of what we see every day.”

Miltenberg said he receives between five to seven calls weekly from people seeking legal defense against accusations of A.I. use. The callers all seem at a loss over how to prove their innocence.

“It’s very easy to allege that someone’s cheated by using A.I., and it’s very hard to disprove that [they] haven’t,” he said.

A 16-year-old student at Regis High School—described as “very shy” and “non-threatening”—died by suicide while waiting to meet with a dean about comments made in an ethics class.

For a New York City elite private school known for opportunity, this heartbreaking moment raises a deeper question: What happens when discipline sees the rule, not the child?

This wasn’t a fight or major misconduct. It began with a classroom remark, a parental complaint, and a fast shift toward punishment. For a sensitive teen, even a standard disciplinary meeting can feel crushing—especially in systems built on automatic, impersonal responses.

Where things break down
Discipline assumes consequences equal correction.
A trip to the dean can intensify shame.
Punishing classroom viewpoints discourages honest learning.
Intentional exclusion of the child’s parent(s)
Mental health often disappears once the issue “goes administrative.”
What schools can do

Lead with relationships
Add mental-health check-ins to every disciplinary step.
Protect open conversation, even when topics are uncomfortable.
Make consequences clear, compassionate, and followed up.
Choose de-escalation before formal discipline.

The stakes
When discipline becomes a transaction, vulnerability gets missed. Students can collapse under the weight of “being in trouble,” and schools may overlook warning signs.

This tragedy at a respected school reminds us: discipline shapes more than behavior—it shapes whether students feel seen, safe, and connected.
